the Wyandots rang out In the clear morning
air, and band OF braves, led by the chiefs
own daughter, dashed into the camp. The
| maiden saw the awful peril OF the man she
| loved, and she rode her pony straight TO him,
md set him free with a single stroke OF her
knife. The Wyandots claimed that Zane was
one of their own people, and that they had
adopted him thirteen years ago.
The solid merits Of the claim, coupled with
the beauty OF the maiden who led the rcscuing
party, induced Cornplantcr TO set Zane at lib.
crty.
He returned to his place of captivity In Ohio
with the Wyandots and was manly enough to
marry the maiden, whose superb, savage love
for him had led her to pursue him through the
forests OF PENNSYLVANIA, whore she snatched
him from fearful death
The Zanes were all children of the forest, and
their long residence with the rcd men untitled
them for the rcstful vocations of peace They
were oil splendid Indian fighters, and found
ample employment in that line till they became
middlc-agcd men.
After Isaac Zane married the Indian girl he
lived for long time with her tribe and then
became scout in the Indian wars. His services
to the Government were so valuable that he
was given large tract OF land In Logan County.
After peace had been restored and the days OF
fighting had passed away Isnnc Zane moved to
his land In Logan County, and there spent the
rest OF his days. He is buried near Zancsiield,
and has descendants still living in Logan and
Champaign Counties. Zane and his Indian wife
had four or five daughters and three sons. The
daughters were women of fine figure and en-.
gaging features with skins OF very light color
The sons, on the other hand. Of dark complex

Republicans to Blame,

The Connecticut Democrats arc Try
ing to get submitted to the people an
amendment to the State constitution
providing that a plurality instead of a
majority Of the votes cast shall here
nfter be sufficient to elect State officers.
There is little reason to suppose that
the Legislature, which is Republican,
will consent to give the people Of
Connecticut chance to pronounce
against rule which works so bcauti-
fully for the Republican party. The
rotten borough system Of Connecticut
insurcs the Legislature to the Repub-
licans, and the requirement of ma
jority to elect State officers leaves the
State election to be settled by the Leg
islature. The present Governor and
his predecessor were elected in this
way. 1t is the minority which wins in
Connecticut.
New Hampshire is another State
which requires a majority Mt State
elections. Both there and in Connect
icut the rule ought to be changed, and
ought to have been changed long ago.
Probably there is small hope of the
change, at least in Connecticut at
present. The rotten borough system
must be smashed before the Republic
ans will give up their advantage.
They are less to be blamed, after all,
than the Republicans of this State.
The Connecticut Republicans merely
refuse to alter and modernize the State
constitution. The New York Repub-
leans fatty and persistcntly refuse to
obey the constitution of New York.
What to them is obedience to the State
constitution compared with keeping
their grip on the LcgislatureP What
do they care if Democrats are de-
frauded of their rights? The Repub-
lican bank will hang on to the fraudu-
lent percentage in its favor.
The people of New York and Con-
necticut will sooner or later insist on
fair play.-N. Y. Sun.

-Candidiate for the Presidency
John Sherman is about to make tour
of the Southern States, and on the eve
of his departure he submitted to u
newspaper interview. Judging by the
interview it is safe to conclude that he
intends to be something more than a
passive candidate this time; something
more than ambitious for nomination
to seek him. If the signs of the times
are safe to judge the future by, Sher-
man will be just as enthusiastic in his
own behalf as any other man in the
field, Blaine not excepted.-Des Moines
Register.
The New York Star observes that
out of 1872 bills vetoed by President
Cleveland during the recent session of
Congress only two We're passed not
withstanding the objection of the Ex-
ecutive. And with respect to one of
these final action was taken with the
concurrence of the President in conse-
quence of later information received
by him. This tribute to the care and
justice with which President Cleveland
considers acts of Congress is a striking
one.-Duduque Telegraph.

An Electrical Baton.

Leading chorus by electrical ape
paratus has been tried in Paris. The
current is used in beating time for the
chorus of al opera company while the
singers are behind the scenes. An elec-
trical baton, hung in conspicuous
place, is controlled by the foot of the
leader of the orchestra, who has also in
front of him small duplicate, bywhich
he can see whether his foot is beating
the correct time. The electrical baton
does not actually move in space, but it
presents the appearance of doing SO,
There arc, in fact, two latons occupy.
ing different positions, which on being
reyoived by the action of electro-map
nets, present black and white faces a..
ternately on the background. An optf.
cal illusion is thus produced exactly
equivalent to the movement of a single
white baton in tho hands Of leader.
IT is said that much greater precision is
obtained by this device than where tho
time Is beaten for the chorus by q
se.ena leader behind tho scenes.

There is one cooperative house,
keeping society in New York City that
is success, and it was started only n
short time ago by woman, the wife
of horse-car conductor. Like most
poor people, she had bought groceries
by the pound or half pound and coal
by the scuttle. She persuaded the in
mates Of the tenement house to club
together and buy their stores in larger
quantities. They find that this saves
about one-third the cost.

Chung Offered To Treat.

At the town meeting held in the G..
A. Il. hall Wednesday evening, the
question of Incorporating the town
was argued and voted down. The ut
most good humor and friendly feel
ing was manifest throughout. Chung
Young, Esq, Chinese foreman for the
A. p. Co., being present as a repre-
sentative of the celestial kingdom,
took considerable interest in the pro-
ceedings of the meeting. MIR. Chung
Young asked that he be permitted to
speak as he was prominent tax
payer. The request met with con-
siderable opposition, but on being re-
ferred TO the committee on creden-
tials, they reported that having
examined Mr.. Young, they found he
did not understand the meaning of
the word anarchy, or socialist; he
knows nothing of the manufacture
of dynamite, bombs, or internal
machines, and that he was the
best dressed man In the house.
The chairman held that Mr.. Young
was allowed to speak. Upon taking
the floor he opposed town govern
ment for the reason that it would
impose restrictions on Chinese wash
houses, would put Irishmen on the
police force, and as Irishmen were
not partial to Cinnamon, he was
afraid that it would go hard with
John" When the question was put
to a vote, Young to the astonishment
of his constituents, voted "yes."
This so disgusted the noes" that
they paid SLIGO for use of the hall,
moved to adjourn, and went home,
determined that they would never
again stand in with a ChiDaman
when it comes to parliamentary mat
ters, although Young offered to treat
when the meeting was oyer.-ILICdcO

Praise for the Columbia River Gamers

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-A canvass has
been made by the Commercial Bul-
Letin concerning the operations of a
future system in the canned goods
trade. The J. X. Armsby company,
of Chicago, in their reply, say this
about the Columbia river packers:
"We want to say for the packers of
the Columbia river that while this
year temptation must have been very
strong TO default on their contracts
and sell elsewhere because the early
sales were made at prices which
netted them no profit, yet so far as
our experience goes, we don't know
of a single case that was packed that
was not delivered to us on our con-
tracts, and we venture to say there
is not more honorable class OF pack
ers banded together on earth than
the salmon packers of the Columbia
river"

The county commissioners had an
other meeting yesterday, but could
do nothing with the tax levy. The
dilatory Yamhill assessor has sent in
his statement to secretary Mcbride,
but till the certified returns are re-
ceived from the Yamhill county clerk
which will be sometime before Christ
mas, the thing remains just as it was.
Ii is understood that the levy in this
county will be necessarily larger than
it was for last year. Secretary Nc
Bride telegraphed to county clerk
Trenchard yesterday evening that the
levy would probably be made next
Wednesday. The county court ad
journed yesterday to meet on the 2lsi

The Telephone" Investigation.

The steamboat inspectors have
finished their investigation in regard
to the Telephone disaster. They
could not find ont in what part of
the boat the fire started, but from
the testimony given by theecaptain
purser and engineer, they think the
fire either started in the deck hands
quarters or the cooks room. They
find that the deck hands were all out
forward at their posts when the fire
started and that everybody did their
best to save the lives of the passen-
gers as well as the cargo, but the fire
spread so rapidly that it was impossi-
bic to get at the cargo. The inspec.
tors therefore exonerate those in
charge of the boat from all blame.
